Day 24: Your Greatest Fear
I'm going to skip all of the Deep and Meaningful Greatest Fears, and go straight to the most "real" fear.
I am Terrified of Heights. Fear courses through my body when I'm standing more than about 6 feet above the ground, doesn't matter if it's on a balcony, by a window (love the Eiffel Tower-- didn't love being at the very top!), in a small plane (big planes are fine), anything like that. My limbs feel rubbery, my knees start to quiver, and I am what is colloquially referred to as a "hot mess."
It's so bad that when I watched Up in the cinema (in 3D!), my palms sweated through the entire movie, and I tried to slide further back in my chair during the scene on top of the blimp. Oy.
It's too bad you couldn't enjoy UP to the fullest! It's such a great flick!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to recommend to overcome a fear of heights, though. That's a tough one.
